2. Lack of a Proper diet – Without the proper intake of nutrients and antioxidants, your skin’s ability to replenish itself by removing old cells and replacing them with younger cells becomes lackluster, resulting in wrinkles and a higher tendency of inflammation (like acne and some flare-ups of certain skin conditions) and infection. Not drinking enough water can also affect your skin, as it needs to be hydrated to look plump and supple.

3. Too Much Sun – Spending too much time in the sun means your skin becomes thinner, wrinkly and leather-like.

As a result, your skin’s collagen and elastin levels can be reduced and its ability to repleneish these proteins diminishes. Don’t overdo tanning and remember to wear sunscreens when you are outside.
